I actually broke the engine in with the Pitts muffler on, and it does sound AWESOME!!

I had the choice between the blue extra and the red one, and decided to go with the red because I thought I may lose the blue one in the sky. What's funny is that every plane I have owned (this is my fourth) has been red and white, so this one fit right in.

I hope that the glow starter is all that is wrong with your plane. I had a blast taxiing up and down my street while I broke my engine in. This plane has great lines, and a great eye catching color scheme, and looks great moving.

I feel that our CG is correct. I hope so anyways, as I have read that the CG will make this a great plane if it's right, and a huge dud if it's not.

Please keep me/us posted on the maiden, and I will do the same. I sure was happy to see this post resurrected.
